Lagos

A touristic resort ideal for quiet holidays and just a few minutes from the beach and Lagos city centre. Guests are invited to discover the hotel in the Algarve. It is the ideal choice for families and for those whom are looking for a relaxing break near Lagos city and the beaches: Porto de Mós and Dona Ana, considered one of the best beaches in the world. Visistors benefit from the resort, keeping a comfortable distance from the city centre as well as discover the most beautiful beaches of the Algarve. The city of Lagos is a historic town, although cosmopolitan, with Marina and a lively nightlife, fantastic restaurants, pubs and shops, that you can be found walking through its picturesque streets. The city is very proud of its history and monuments. Rooms are such a comfortable as home, well-appointed to ensure the rest.

Lovely stay

Really impressed with our stay here. The staff were friendly, the 1 bed apartment was huge and had everything we needed. The staff went above and beyond to leave a bottle of bubbly and a cake in our room for my birthday. Plenty of parking. Didn’t use the restaurant however, seemed great. The pools were clean. Great location for Lagos old town. Very impressed and would stay here again.

TripAdvisor Review
Cannot fault the place.

Vila Branca exceeded my expectations. The apartment was huge, clean, tidy and comfortable. A perfect base throughout the day. Balcony with a pool view so we could see if it was busy down there and choose which pool to go to. The food was delicious, the area beautiful and every single member of staff lovely. Very conveniently outside of the busy part of Lagos but accessible by walking or an Uber for like €3. Just round the corner from a nice little shop for snacks. Went in the last week of July which we were told by a local is just before Portugal start their holidays and it gets much busier. Amazing holiday from start to finish.

Vil branca

Very clean hotel wasn't ready when we arrived which was very early but there is a pool bar where you can wait . Suitcases were locked away in reception. Reception staff were fantastic. Was overcharged for a coffee at the pool bar but was rectified quickly by the manager. No mad rush for sunbeds which was great sometimes arriving at pool at 1pm . Plenty places to eat about 20 mins walk away but you can get a bolt taxi for about 4 euro. Mini supermarket well stocked and just 2 minute walk away. We will return

Vilabranca Apartments July 2026

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the apartment fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave and dishwasher. The apartment was huge with great storage and were located on the ground floor by the pool. All the staff were really helpful and courteous. There was no mad rush to put the towel on the loungers by the pool. The beaches were 20 mins walk away or €3 euro in a Uber. For dinner we walked into Lagos approx 20mins with lots of variety. The Eureka shop at the top of the road stocks all essential and the Intermarché supermarket is 20mins away. All in all a great 10 days spent in this part of Portugal and will definitely be returning. Keep up the good work A++++
